I sure hope this is a one off issue otherwise Apple's gonna have a big issue on their hands...

Any picture of it?
And any guess what may causing it? Say dust on the inner magic keyboard side?
I would like to see some pictures, OP. I don’t see anything in your post.
There was a picture up earlier; for some reason, it‘s been removed.

Here’s the pic.
Hmm, I think the bend part’s elbow of the magic keyboard collects dust and gives that mark on the ipad’s back.
I get the same mark on my screen from using a smart folio cover. But it easily can be wiped off.
Maybe constant using of the MKB and the ipad without deattaching it and not being aware of the dust mark makes it becoming more permanent.
I’m using coverbuddy and using the ipad without the MKB from time to time, so hopefully this can be avoided.
But to clean the inner surface of the MKB is indeed a hard thing to do, similar on the smart folio cover.
Maybe the original poster deleted the photo because they realised it could be wiped off.

hahahaha😂😂
I’m having this now, wiping it with a Microfiber Cloth isn’t doing anything. I had to use WATER (A little bit, don’t worry) to make 60% of it to go away. It is still there.

I’ll try to get photos today.

I think I would definitely put a skin on it to prevent any other discoloration. 😁
I have a 12.9" IPP and handling the device naked is nice but I need to wear brown pants unless I'm in the middle of the bed or in space. I'm going to get a Spigen case for when I do not anticipate needing the MKB. It'll be interesting though - no discoloration that I've seen over here and it's been attached to the MKB about 95% of the time I've had mine.
NO
STOP MAKING ME BUY THINGS 🤣
I sometimes have a line running down the back of my iPad where the MK folds as well, although it doesn’t show up as much as I have the Silver. I also take my iPad off the MK frequently to use as a tablet so any marks I notice are easily wiped off with my finger.
Oh for crying out loud!!! I have the space gray and I can see this now. This is what remains after doing a quick 'wipe' with my finger.

I find this to be extremely illogical. That you need a skin to protect your iPad from a product that Apple itself markets as protection. Directly from Apple store “Folds into a case to provide front and back protection for traveling with the iPad Pro and the iPad Air”.
And to go a bit further into this ridiculousness people are putting skins on the actual keyboard case to product it. A protector to protect the 300 dollar protector. Lol. I’ll go check mine and will report back.
And those magic keyboard skins aren’t cheap either.
Maybe they’ll make film stickers to protect the skins too.
I have skins on my iPP and MK. 11” 2020. Problem solved with lint and crumbs on the MK and no worries on scratches iPP. Dbrand is the iPP skin and I would recommend using them for both. Decal girl is on the MK but it already has a few small pin holes.
